Despite the strong individual efforts, turnovers were an issue. The team gave the ball away 25 times, which proved to be costly for the Nuggets. Denver shot 54.1% from the field and 92.3% from the line, but the mistakes and a few cold stretches hurt their chances. Jokic was the clear standout, but even his near triple-double couldn’t turn the tide on a tough night. With that, the Warriors are now at 46-31, and the Nuggests stand at 47-31.
